Update of December 11, 2022: The sanitary situation is prompting us to review our roadmap as we had forecasted at the end of 2020, relating the March NAPEC postponed to September and then November 2021. The digital event on the day of September 29, 2021 (replacing the NAPEC also postponed), was a technical conference and 5 workshops, setup by French and Algerian consultants and companies (including Total). Update of October 8, 2021: The health situation oblige us to review our roadmap, as discussed at the end of 2020 with a view to the March NAPEC postponed to September then to November 2021. -The first step was the organisation of the digital event on the September 29th, (in the place of the postponed NAPEC). This step on zoom webinar was based on a technical conference and workshops (on the 5 main topics below) will allow a first exchange/discussion between players in the sector, thus providing an alternative to companies unable / unwilling to travel to Algeria to that time. The link to the replay : http://lp.convergence.link/évènement_digital_mission_collective_algérie -The second face-to-face step, if possible at Hassi Messaoud NAPEC in 2022, would see the launch of Franco-Algerian project groups addressing the 5 key topics (mentioned […]

R&D Innovation, WEPLOT simplifies well logs visualization and geoscience collaboration Edmond Ngalemo, a member of ACP Energies creates a geoscience collaboration platform optimized for the web. Platform website: https://davizo.com/weplot Explainer video: https://youtu.be/LUmABDxbzg4 Brochure: https://davizo.com/weplot/wpldoc/WePlOt-brochure-EN.pdf With WEPLOT, it is no longer necessary to send PDF documents or images by email. The user creates a project, then imports the data from his computer or tablet and creates well logs online. He can then share the project with his network, which will be able to access the data and the logs anywhere and on any device. WEPLOT can be used by anyone who needs to have access to logs, and who does not need advanced processing: oil operators, drillers, consultants, companies that offer well logging services. Application examples Well profile visualization while drilling: the logs of the geological evaluation are directly transmitted online to the project owner who can consult them online and make decisions in real time. A consultant accesses the data on the fly, annotates the plots and shares his opinion with the users connected to the project.
